Our 4s (Pre-K) have a hybrid camp experience.  This is the perfect transition to “big kid” camp!  Parents can opt-in to swim instruction, and campers get a little extra rest time in the afternoon.

Our “Junior Village” Campers (Pre-K and Kindergarten) get the full CA Camps experience, but with a focus on making good transitions — to camp and to school.  Our Junior Village offers more independence than pre-school but still has the security of experienced counselors and pre-school/kindergarten teachers.

Lower Campers (Grades 1-2) Get our full CA Camp Experience!  Swimming, Sports, Arts & Crafts, Cooking, Science, Earth Art, and more!

Our “Middle Camp” is for campers entering 3rd-6th grades.  These campers enjoy more advanced camp activities and go on a weekly field trip every week!  Many campers enjoy a few weeks of traditional day camp and a few weeks in a specialty camp.

Our LIT/CIT program (Teens) are our 7th – 10th graders.  Campers get special trainings, are placed in a bunk or special area, and take on exciting leadership roles like planning our Carnival, Wet-N-Wild Day, and Color Games!  Teens have some exciting trips including our signature end-of-summer trip to Hershey Park!

(Varies, typically 2nd-6th grade). Specialty Camps offer week-long sessions focusing on one cool area. In 2024, we offered Art Camp with Ms. Theresa; Sports Camp with Ezra, Eli, and Sam; STEM Camp with the Science Guys; and Culinary Camp with Chef Annie!  We’re excited to announce our 2025 Specialty Camps this fall!

General Info

Bunking
Each camper is grouped with same-aged children. Bunks typically have 12-15 children and two counselors, plus a bunk helper (high school student).

Staffing
We are proud to offer a low camper-to-staff ratio. During 2023, we averaged a 1:4 ratio. Our counselors are classified as either Junior Counselors (Ages 16-18) or Head Counselors (18+). We also include special area staff including our lifeguard/swim instructors, sports staff, arts teachers, etc.

All of our staff undergo FBI, Maryland, and Child Protective Services background checks before working at Camp.
